No problem. But if you are going back to that shop. Try ask for it. The proportions and the cut quality will affect the price.

This one looks promising. 0.23ct E IF. Excellent colour and excellent clarity. This is probably the one I will buy based on what I can source. Don't have any performance images but should be above average. Price is USD 533 + USD 33 for shipping handling. Total is RM 566. Now should be tax-free if ship in to Malaysia.

If you want better cut quality or better proportions, you will have to cut down on either colour or clarity. But if you are concerned about colour and clarity and does not want to sacrifice too much on cut, then this is one of the better options there is to offer right now.

Transferring via MoneyMatch is 4.0032, making the price in ringgit to be RM 2265.81. Getting a basic solitaire ring setting from Memory Jewellery will be between RM 750 to RM 1000. They are not that thick but they can help with your budget. Anyway, I believe Wah Chan's rings are not that thick as well. My prediction is RM 3300 should be the final price. It is 10% up from your original budget so I am not sure whether this fits your bill or not.

Btw, Memory Jewellery is offering 0.3ct for RM 3500 including setting. You may consult them on Facebook as well. Not sure about the quality though.

My personal advice is to go for warmer colours and focus on cut quality and proportions. This can cut down the cost. While doing so, you can also consider diamonds with blue fluorescence to cut down additional cost as well, at the same time, it is said that blue fluorescence can make warmer coloured diamonds look whiter.

Wow. That's fast.

Well I will just be straight. It is abit deep to my liking. 62.8% is pretty deep, so the light return is probably not as good. The pairing between crown angle and pavilion angle is acceptable though. That being said, since this is a D color diamond, it will definitely look whitish enough. The fire of the diamond should be pretty good in pin fire environment, like candle light environment, but may be dull off in office light environment. But again, I believe the whitish D color may help it to look better (my guess). The 75% lower girdle should return bold sparks while the high crown and small table should again, squeeze more fire out.

Most importantly, you saw it and you like it. I think that's what matters at the end of the day.

May I know how much did it cost you?
